Seven Advantages Of Aluminum Tanker Trailer Compared To Carbon Steel Tanker
Publish Time: 2020-03-02 Origin: Site
Oil tanker has many names, such as oil truck, refueling truck, edible oil transport truck, mobile fuel truck, etc. No matter what it is called, we are clear that it is used to load oil substances. With the improvement of living standards, the use of various types of oil products gradually increased, which led to the development of the tanker industry. From America and Europe to China, and then to South Asia, Africa and South America, more and more of BAPUTI's customers are now choosing aluminum alloy material to make tankers when they buy tankers. Aluminum alloy semi-trailer tanker has seven outstanding advantages compared with ordinary tanker.
carbon steel tanker trailer for sale
Advantage 1: aluminum alloy tanker material is light
The density of aluminum alloy is small, under the same size of tank, aluminum alloy tanker is 15% more goods than carbon steel tanker, which is more obvious in the transportation of large quantity of oil products, and because the weight of aluminum alloy tanker is light, it reduces the consumption of fuel and the wear of tires during transportation, thus reducing the daily operation cost and maintenance cost.
Advantage 2: Aluminum alloy tanker is corrosion resistant
The chemical properties of aluminum alloy are stable, and the corrosion resistance of aluminum alloy is more than 70% higher than that of ordinary carbon steel. The enhancement of corrosion resistance makes the maintenance cost related to the tanker greatly reduced. Aluminum alloy has good compatibility with gasoline, diesel, kerosene and other oils, and the corrosion of oil for aluminum alloy is small. The surface of aluminum alloy is glossy and can be used without anti-rust and anti-corrosion treatment, and the body will not rust when there is a scratch, and the appearance is durable and easy to clean. 15-20 years is the general service life of aluminum alloy tanker. Such a life span is not a concern for the tankers with scrapping period.
Advantage 3: Aluminum alloy tanker truck has good safety
The strength of aluminum alloy material is very high, and it has good ductility. Because oil is a flammable and explosive hazardous material, safety is crucial for a tanker truck. The oil is easy to produce thermal expansion and contraction in extremely cold or hot environment, and the carbon steel tanker has poor ductility and is easy to produce explosion in this environment. Aluminum alloy is non-combustible material, not easy to produce sparks, static electricity accumulation is lower.
Advantage 4: Aluminum alloy tanker has high recycling value
The excellent characteristics of aluminum alloy make the service life of aluminum alloy tanker longer, and the old aluminum alloy tank that is usually well maintained can be used in the new chassis. Aluminum alloy has high recycling rate and recycling value. According to the current price of aluminum alloy in the market, only the aluminum alloy tank body recycling can reach about 30% of the tank body cost. In recent years, the price of aluminum alloy is getting higher and higher, and the future recovery value of the existing aluminum alloy tanker is even expected to reach more than half of the current purchase cost of the car. This, from an objective point of view, saves the operating cost of the vehicle.
Advantage 5: Aluminum alloy tanker is environmentally friendly
Aluminum alloy tanker belongs to environmental protection vehicles, the light weight of aluminum alloy tanker reduces the fuel consumption and emission of the car, which means it is environmental protection, and it is more convenient to get into the household of environmental protection vehicles and make contribution to environmental protection. The appearance of aluminum alloy tanker is very beautiful and easy to clean without painting.
Advantage 6: Aluminum alloy tanker is more convenient to operate
Maneuverability, the center of gravity of aluminum alloy tanker is relatively low, and the brakes are easier, which makes the vehicle's maneuverability better. Aluminum alloy can also absorb the energy of collision in the accident through effective deformation (the possibility of later repair and recovery is higher), which improves the safety of driving.
Advantage 7: Aluminum alloy tanker has low operating cost
As the aluminum alloy tanker is lighter in weight compared with carbon steel tanker, it reduces the fuel consumption in the transportation process. When the unloaded driving speed is 40 km/h, 60 km/h and 80 front/h, the fuel consumption of aluminum alloy tanker is 12.1%, 10% and 7.9% lower than that of carbon steel tanker, which reduces the daily operation cost. wear and tear, thus reducing the maintenance cost of the vehicle.
